This sounds like a cool idea Ratty.
In 2010, the last year I attended I was peddling around. I saw a sign that said magicmarty. So I timidly went in the camp and introduced myself and all was fine.
I'll do the same. I'm usually camped along the outer road between 6:00 and 8:30.

Ratty, if we get placed in our "usual spot" again (Rods Road @ 6:30 & Esplanade, next to the Artery, where we've been the last 3 years), I'll be happy to host a fairly centrally located book/map/whatever you come up with.

Of course, by making this public offer I have just cursed my camp to the 9:00 plaza.

Thank you Erik. What camp are you with? (Sorry about the sentence structure but I can't bring myself to write it correctly. It just sounds too weird the right way.)

I have a sign! I could put an eplayan tag on it.

AntiM. Your photo makes me smile. I'll be sure and drop one off for you. You can decide then if you want all the lost fuckos screeching to a halt to hug you.

Ratty - I'm with BRC Weekly/ Bootie BRC.
We've been somewhere in Center Camp for years, and we've been blessed the last few years with The Artery deciding we're the perfect neighbors and requesting that we get placed next to them. Fingers crossed it happens again. Even if we're somewhere else in Center Camp, I'll host one of the books - the Esplanade frontage just makes it easy to find.

Wow this sounds great!

I'd like to participate in this. Since being new and all it would be a nice way to thank all of the super helpful people on this board for assisting in my planning for my first burn.

A handshake, a hug, or whatever thanks I can give for all the really thoughtful advice and suggestions would make the experience a success for me.

Would love to make some cool landmark resident (hobo) tags
What a fun art project. I'd be up to help anyone who wants to make an ePlayan residents code!

Don't forget about the eplaya Meet-n-Greet Melonblue. It's a good way to meet lots of eplayans all in one place. The book will be great to help find everybody that didn't show up.

Tamarakay. You can't hide on the playa. I will find you. And I will hug you. Just try and stop me! I sincerely hope it's not me that you're not wanting to see. (Pretty clumsy sentence eh?)

Are you talking about the ending a sentence with a preposition thing?
Well, first off, questions have different syntaxes anyway.

Bless. Do you really? There are always people that take a year off now and then. I skipped 2 years myself. I feel that if I get a ticket I'll be just as happy as always to take my vacation in the desert. Personally I'm gearing it up a notch with my new campmate. She insists on music and some entertaining with our neighborhood. Those rich folks were there before I started going and they'll be there after I quit. If they don't suck up all the tickets the eplayans will come and have a ball as usual. Count on it.

You I will hunt down and hug. We have a lot of bullies and negative shit stirrers on here now, and I have no desire to meet them.

Tamarakay, I know what you mean. Last year there were a couple of cyber bullies that I only saw once at the M&G. I said Hi and walked on by. (Shame on me that I enjoyed that.) They probably would have been fine company but I couldn't get past what they had spewed on this board all year. Hey, If I take off my glasses all is forgiven. I can't read nametags and everyone is my friend.

Ratty,

I'm not a regular of eplaya anymore, but you're free to visit me at BloodBath&Beyond...we will be with Gypsy Nebula, probably about 3:00 and F-ish.. Maybe you'll find I'm not such an asshole in reality.

Tom, Marisa, Lucky, Lets all get naked and cuddle. OK, maybe not but I do want to see you. The naked thing is just that naked skiing clip got to me. I miss snowboarding.
